DunkirkMahal: It's a long shot, but it sounds like your upstream provider's DNS servers aren't resolving ubuntu.com names.00:55
AegNuddelthink I git it00:55

DunkirkMahal: How about this: `dig @208.67.220.220 archive.ubuntu.com'00:55

sheena1trying to make an ubuntu-remix boot USB, but the "Format" button in the GUI doesnt work to format the USB stick. help??01:03
mazda01ChogyDan, yeap. that's what I am using. my changes to fstab, interfaces, and hostname are not saved. i know that its probably because the /  filesystem is mounted to ram and it must not get saved back into the casper-rw image01:03
Dunkirksheena1: Try running the program that's formatting the stick as `sudo <program'?01:03
sheena1thanks. i can try that01:03
LouiieIf been told Sims2 doesn't work with Ubuntu, is this true?01:03
^paradox^i sized it to be 336 x 192 pixels. it should print that size, but its printing much larger01:04
sheena1Dunkirk: still no response :(01:04
CAPcap_Louiie, Unless you can get it to run in Wine or another windows emulating program, then you wont be able to uses Sims01:04
psycho_oreosLouiie, check for winedb for app compatibilities, normally it would be cedegar that would provide support01:04

Scarra3Is there a program that I can use for ubuntu that downloads internet tv01:22
Dunkirkmeddy: There's also a tool called `update-grub' that may or may not do this for you.01:22
Dunkirkfiber: You'll need a digital tuner card now.01:23
userfriendlyalso, why is JAVA_HOME set in the init.d script, when it's already an existing environment variable?01:23
userfriendlyisn't that kind of redundant?01:23
fiberDunkirk: aw, that's a shame01:23

GuiriThere's no community documentation page for SElinux. I don't know how to administer it. how can I set it up?02:39
evanandersenFAJ: are you comfortable downloading and compiling software?02:39
FAJevanandersen: not particularly but i can02:39
syn-ackGuiri: why don't you check out apparmor instead as its the default MAC system in use on Ubuntu...02:39
syn-ackGuiri: if you prefer SElinux though the red hat docs ought to do fairly well...02:40
Guirithanks02:40
FAJevanandersen:  is there a way to reset the fs type??? b/c it seems like it is trying to load it as ext3....02:41
syn-ackGuiri: personally I find SElinux to be too much of a pain in the ass... AppArmor is much nicer, imo02:41
evanandersenFAJ: you're booted onto a live CD with EXT4 support now right?02:41
FAJevanandersen: yes02:41
evanandersenFAJ: EXT3 is forwards compatible with EXT4.. you can upgrade an old EXT3 file system to EXT4. did you do this?02:42
cmwslwit seems to me like rsync is used a lot more than rdiff-backup02:42
cmwslwhow can you prevent rsync from copying corrupt data and destroying uncorrupt data02:42
syn-ackGuiri: and to add it off, Many of the former Novell Developers on app armor are now Canonical employees and that particular project is by far more mature on Ubuntu than SEl is02:42
cmwslwlike what happened to m.agno.lia02:42
FAJevanandersen: yes, originally; and then i used an ibex disk to try and get the shrink/expand the ext4 fs....  it shrunk /  but then only errors; /home was not touched,,, so maybe luck there.02:43
GuiriThanks. I haven't looked into it but I'll read the community docs on it02:43

FAJso maybe if i try to like retell it it is ext4....02:44
evanandersenhopefully their is a copy of the superblock that has not been corrupted somewhere in the filesystem that you can restore from02:45

FAJevanandersen:  so how can i force fsck to check it as ext4?  syn-ack ok02:54
FAJsyn-ack: same error02:55
syn-ackyou don't force it as ext4 since the FS is NO ext4, its 3 merely mounted as 402:55
syn-ackrather NOT02:55
bobbytek2evanandersen, aye, well thanks for the info!02:55
FAJsyn-ack: but it IS ext402:56

syn-ackDid you format it as ext4?02:56
syn-ackor 3?02:56
evanandersenhe upgraded from ext302:56
evanandersento ext402:56
syn-ackit's not an upgrade02:56
FAJevanandersen:  yes but this was a LONG time ago.02:56
FAJidk if that makes a diff?02:56
evanandersenarent the old files left as they are and new files are written as EXT4?02:57
syn-acknot a proper one at least... all he did was mount the part as 3 so it is still, in fact a 302:57
syn-ackno02:57
evanandersenidk much about the method02:57
syn-ackwhen you "upgrade" all you're doing is using the new driver... you still have the same FS underlying it02:57
FAJsyn-ack: i followed the tutorial from ubuntu i think to upgrade it.... oh....02:57
evanandersenhttp://maketecheasier.com/how-to-upgrade-from-ext3-to-ext4-without-formatting-the-hard-disk/2009/04/2102:58

evanandersenthats what i said02:58
syn-ackaye, and I'm reinforcing it. :D02:58
evanandersenreinstall the system since you have ur home folder safe anyays02:58

happytrism: how do you specify never?03:21
trismhappy: just like the runlevels, you could throw in an "and never" at the end03:21
happytrism: no matter what, you need to edit a script. Which automatically clasifies it as a hack.03:22
trismhappy: yeah I agree03:22
nils-editing a script is a hack?03:22
happytrism: that is the same hack, just different way of doing it03:22
happynils-: inorder to control what boots up?03:23
trismhappy: I do agree with you that start on/stop on should be separate from the scripts themselves03:23
AegNuddelok03:24
AegNuddelswo I know about sudo and al03:24
AegNuddelall03:24
happytrism: thanks for the help. I was just freaked out when I had no idea how to do a simple administration task...03:24
AegNuddelso*03:24
syn-ackmelwtech35: you can also lock certain user's gnome sessions down so they cant exit out of Gnome and to a VT03:24
AegNuddelbut what if I need to access fie folders, and not terminal commands?03:24
melwtech35syn-ack, this laptop is a single user environment will i still run into that issue?03:25
syn-ackhappy: I'm sorry those pages didn't do it how you wanted but yeah03:25
happysyn-ack: np.03:25
syn-ackmelwtech35: yeah since you wont be able to generate a tty when you open an Xterm03:25
trismhappy: didn't read all of the links in the discussion, but you can also rename the script to disable it, but then you can't start it manually (it won't run anything that doesn't end in .conf)03:26
ae86-drifter_iflema, ok i found the package i need, (libpoppler 0.11.0) i uninstalled libpoppler 0.12.0, but it removed all the dependencies, and when i installed libpoppler 0.11.0 it didnt add all the ghostscript printing packages etc03:26
melwtech35syn-ack, is that each terminal window or is it each instance? (dont know if this makes sense but i only open terminals within a tab)03:26
syn-ackhappy: honestly if you're the only one using the system and no one else has access to the pc there really is no need to disable your getty's and shit l;ike that03:26
syn-ackeach instance is a getty03:27
happysyn-ack: I am not disabling getty. I like getty03:27
melwtech35now im confused03:27
ae86-drifter_theres about 15 packages that it removed and i need them back for printing03:27
melwtech35heh03:27
syn-ackhappy: wrong nick. :D03:27
happysyn-ack: I was talking about kdm. getty is my friend03:27
AegNuddelspa getty03:27
melwtech35ah now i get it03:27
syn-ackthats why I usually one help one person at a time since my multitasking skills, even after all these years sucks03:28
syn-ackonly help one person, that is03:28
melwtech35i admit, i just want to slim down ubuntu so i started googling suggestions03:28
Dracofodderis there an easy way for me to get and install a newer version of flash than what came down in the repo? (10.0.42.34)  getting some weird stuff on some websites, and read one blog talking about a beta flash with fixes but I cannot get it to work installing manually.. and that didnt work for me03:28
syn-ackmelwtech35: getty's are the least of your concerns on "sliming down" ubuntu03:28
melwtech35syn-ack, i read from the top of a page ;P03:29
happymelwtech35: there is no reason to ever disable getty. It is your friend. Or just there.03:29

AegNuddelI just need to put some files it says I am not permitted to enter03:29
ZerHowdy all. On AppArmor, I am having a problem that a program (in complain mode) shows original/path//null-40 ... I am guessing this is from forking?03:29
syn-ackZer: sure is03:29
melwtech35happy, ok i will move onto the next thing....swapiness. lol03:29
AegNuddelcan I "unlock" them somehow03:30
AegNuddel?03:30
ZerHow can I make it so AppArmor follows the program through the fork, still recognizing it as the original?03:30
melwtech35Dracofodder, did you try flash-nonfree03:30
syn-ackmelwtech35: /dev/sda1              19G  4.1G   14G  24% / thats my primary system part. :P03:30
binMonkeymy desktop takes 2 - 3 minutes to shutdown.  what log file do i look at to see what it's sticking on?03:30
melwtech35syn-ack, im guessing your not using ubuntu03:30
syn-ackZer: it does it automatically03:30
Dracofoddermelwtech35: no I did not, I thought the flashplugin-installer uninstalled that one by default.03:30
syn-ackmelwtech35: I am.03:30
melwtech35Dracofodder, hmm, ive been having issues with flash also but the 64bit version plugin03:31
syn-ackZer: you have auditd installed and running?03:31
ae86-drifter_even though i locked the old poppler version every time i reinstall ghostscript it reinstalled the new poppler03:31
ZerThe profile name has changed to the original//null-40, though. And it is complaining about simple things which <abstractions/base> contain03:31
Zerauditd? No. I am typing 'less /var/log/messages' :)03:31
melwtech35syn-ack, do you have a nice wiki for how to effectively slim down ubuntu? =p03:31
Dracofoddermelwtech35: mine is 64bit too.03:31
melwtech35ahhh03:31
ZerThat said, I am also using it with authbind, which does odd things to library loading03:31

melwtech35Dracofodder, sometimes i cant click on flash things in firefox! the mouse over activates but it doesnt do anything when i click03:32
syn-ackZer: install auditd so it will output your aa mesages there, it makes it a ton easier to read03:32
syn-ackmelwtech35: this is a fairly stock lucid install. ;)03:32
Dracofoddermelwtech35: at least I think it is.  how to tell after its installed. Thats exactly the issues I have been having... and its not all the time, but when it starts I can't get it to do anything03:32
melwtech35two things i hate on PC: Flash and Java03:32
Zersyn-ack: I can see them in either case, though :) but, let me go look03:32
syn-ackZer: you're still gonna have to give it access to some directories03:32
syn-ackregardless if they're in your abstractions03:33
melwtech35Dracofodder, i wish i could help, i haven't been able to solve the issues it gives me, but in firefox config:plugins should let you know whats isntalled03:33
melwtech35syn-ack, what do you think about editing sysctl to improve performance ?03:33
AegNuddelis there a way I can make my permissions higher so i can drag and drop files into a folder?03:34
syn-ackZer: check out #ubuntu-hardened. thats the more appropriate place for aa talk. :D03:34
Dracofoddermelwtech35: yea, beenthere... sigh.. I stumbled on this site talked about a beta, but coudlnt get it to work http://tuxarena.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-to-install-flash-player-101-beta-2.html03:34
rhamptoniineed help with ubuntu 9.10 getting belkin wireless n usb working03:34
ZerHmm, I'll look03:34
syn-ackmelwtech35: you're not gonna gain all that much out of it03:34
Dracofoddermelwtech35: I guess the quest is on now.03:34
melwtech35i tried the beta it made youtube work but thats about it03:34
melwtech35syn-ack, swappiness on a 4gb system?03:34
syn-ackmelwtech35: I mean, it's a start but you're not gonna gain nearly what you're hoping for03:35
melwtech35syn-ack, i guess a long day of googling to gain 1.3% speed ;)03:35
syn-ackmelwtech35: I mean, you have 4 gigs of ram already you're rarely going to touch swap as it unless you're running it as a server03:36
melwtech35well, i have 2 VB's running constantly03:36
syn-ackand even then if you're running a server, you're gonna need to run something large like a could SQL instances or something03:36
syn-ackah well03:36
rhamptoniineed help with ubuntu 9.10 getting belkin wireless n usb working03:36
melwtech35syn-ack i see, but does ubuntu know not to touch swap unless it needs it? guessing it does03:37
syn-ackmelwtech35: for the most part, I mean they do use some pretty generic settings, but for what they are they work very well03:38
melwtech35hmm ok03:38
majorjunk0need help plz, i just installed ubuntu using the windows installer and it cant finish confirming the install, i get the error "no root file system is defined, please correct this from the partitioning menu". IM me if you can help (im currently running in demo mode)03:38
melwtech35syn-ack, so on my quest to make ubuntu 9.10 work properly and be a little bit (a lot) slimmer, do you have any pointers on where to start? naturally i dont want to be recompiling the kernel with CPU tweaks and such =P03:39
AegNuddelmajorjunk0, what partition size did you put/03:39
AegNuddel?03:39
majorjunk020 gig03:39
AegNuddelhmm03:39
syn-ackmelwtech35: you shouldnt have to do that anyway03:39
AegNuddelshould be plenty03:39
AegNuddelI made the mistake of too small once03:39
rhamptoniineed help with ubuntu 9.10 getting belkin wireless n usb working...try303:40
syn-ackmelwtech35: tweak your swap, that's a good idea now that I know what you're running on it, and look into tweaking your fs ops03:40
ChogyDanrhamptonii: what guides have you followed so far?03:40
syn-ackthat'll speed you up some... let me think of some other things off the top of my head03:40
syn-ackwell heck I cant think of anything else atm. :|03:41
majorjunk0aegnuddel, is there a way i can delete ubuntu from from hardrive and try agian using the USB install (im out of CDRs)03:41
nils-melwtech35: the thing is, it might be smarter to swap out programs for file cache on desktop systems03:41
melwtech35syn-ack, well i installed 9.10 karmic amd64 on a very recent HP laptop, wondering why it takes even 1 second to open firefox i would have hoped it would take not even a blink, (this is when load is like 8%)03:41
yo2boythere03:41
nils-melwtech35: sys.vm.swapiness controls that03:41
ChogyDanmelwtech35: use chrome03:42
syn-ackOH03:42
melwtech35nils-, i see03:42
rhamptoniiChogyDan:  peepingtom had one i found on forum...i could use the adapter just fine before upgrading to 9.10...using ndiswrapper03:42
kinja-sheepmajorjunk0: That will work.03:42
AegNuddelDoes it not have an uninstaller as well?03:42
melwtech35nils-, individual swap allocation for higher memory apps03:42
ChogyDanrhamptonii: so ndiswrapper is not working?03:42
syn-ackmelwtech35: and another thing you can tweak is your readahead settings.,... the reason firefox takes a second to load is because the libs wernt precached by readahead03:42
majorjunk0aegnuddel, i haven't found one (haven03:43
majorjunk0't looked to hard either though)03:43
kinja-sheepmajorjunk0: Make an USB installation. When it came down to partitioning the drive, make a new one -- overwrite the old one.03:43
syn-ackmelwtech35: not swap, memory.03:43
melwtech35ah03:43
nils-melwtech35: hmm well it depends on the app, apps can set their memory allocations not to be swapped out03:43
rhamptoniiChogyDan:  no...i get errors such as...rtl819xU:ERR!!! _rtl8192_up(): initialization is failed! from dmesg03:43
majorjunk0kinja-sheep, how do i make sure i only overwrite my ubuntu partion and not my windows?03:43
melwtech35ah03:43
melwtech35!readahead03:44
nils-syn-ack: hmm don't you mean prelinking?03:44
melwtech35!prelinking03:44
kinja-sheepmajorjunk0: If you're using LiveCD Desktop CD/USB, you should get the GUI and obvious messages (ie Windows partition or NTFS partition).03:44
syn-acknils-: you are correct. prelinking03:44
syn-ackmelwtech35: google for "ubuntu sreadahead"03:44
ae86-drifter_hey ive got this new laptop and i get this watermark in the bottom right saying AMD - Unsupported hardware, this is after enabling the ATI driver03:45
kinja-sheepmajorjunk0: Linux filesystems are usually in multiple partitions -- ext2,ext3 or ext4, and also swap.03:45
nils-or just buy an intel x25-m, my box boots in like 3 seconds03:45
ChogyDanrhamptonii: have you tried...   reinstalling?  I don't know.  I could search google if you give me the device model03:45
melwtech35syn-ack, will do03:45
majorjunk0kinja, ok ill try to follow the usb steps03:45
ChogyDansyn-ack: I thought sreadahead is for boot03:45
melwtech35nils-, my laptop should be capable of faster boot i feel ubuntu does a lot of helper shit it doesn't really need to03:45
syn-acknils-: c2d  64 here and I have it down to about 6 second boot03:46
kinja-sheepmelwtech35: Watch your language. Thanks. :o03:46
syn-ackChogyDan: it is.03:46
melwtech35currently my boot is about 30 seconds03:46
blakkheimmelwtech35: ubuntu isn't exactly the fastest, most optimized distro03:46
syn-ackwell it's readahead anwya03:46
rhamptoniiChogyDan:  i have try every forum's advice i could find...seems many have same problem...dev from lsusb is "050d:805e Belkin Components"03:46
nils-melwtech35: that's unacceptable.03:46
melwtech35blakkheim, heh yeh but i wanted to install something that had lots of support because its a work laptop03:46
nils-melwtech35: don't know the specs for that laptop though03:46
blakkheimmelwtech35: if you know what you're doing and need the most speed.. gentoo is the way03:46
melwtech35nils-, tell me about it, it threw me some fstab error after i did the latest update03:47
syn-acknils-: and thats from booting from a HDD and not a SSD03:47
nils-melwtech35: hmm yeah I had that too03:47
syn-ackblakkheim: thats not true03:47
kinja-sheepmelwtech35: If you need a car analog, there are many fastest cars in the world and yet everybody are buying stock factory cars. :-)03:47
nils-syn-ack: yeah03:47
melwtech35blakkheim, i cant afford to spend hours stuffing round with gentoo03:47
blakkheimsyn-ack: oh? what would you recommend then?03:47
nils-syn-ack: upstart really makes a difference03:47
syn-ackblakkheim: I use Ubuntu.03:47
melwtech35kinja-sheep, hehe03:47
blakkheimsyn-ack: lol ok03:47
syn-ackblakkheim: like I said, I have about a 6 second coldboot03:47
melwtech35nils-, its a core2duo 2.53ghz 4gigram03:47
rhamptoniiChogyDan:  i currently have the .inf file that i used before installed via ndiswrapper....rt2870.inf03:48
syn-ackblakkheim: on a c2d 2 GHz with 2 gigs ram and 100 gig hdd03:48
syn-ackblakkheim: running Lucid 64, btw03:48
nils-melwtech35: well I think you need a more analytical approach, meaning that you need to find out what exactly takes long when booting, otherwise you are just optimizing in the microsecond area03:48
syn-ackexactly03:49
melwtech35nils-, this is true03:49
syn-ackThats where bootchart comes in handy03:49
melwtech35ahh03:49
melwtech35ok sounds like i have a lot to do03:49
melwtech35hehe03:49
melwtech35syn-ack, sreadahead or readahead03:49
syn-ackmelwtech35: check them both out03:50
kinja-sheepmelwtech35: I don't use swap myself. If anything, you should make swap file instead of partition. Also, I have 2GB and it's using 28% of the memory now.03:50
melwtech35https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2009-March/027726.html i guess ;.>03:50
syn-acksreadahead is for precaching on boot and readahead is caching after boot03:50
ZerHuh. syn-ack, apparently once all the other errors were out of the way, the odd ones with the null profile went away as well. Very handy, auditd, as well03:50
ae86-drifter_hey ive got this new laptop and i get this watermark in the bottom right saying AMD - Unsupported hardware, this is after enabling the ATI driver03:50
melwtech35kinja-sheep, interesting, so turning off swap may be benefitial03:50
syn-ackZer: aye. :D03:50
melwtech35syn-ack, so ill install both ;D03:51
Zerthough, much more useful in auditd -f than as a startup feature :) I can't imagine why anyone would want the latter03:51
syn-ackmelwtech35: Not if you want to hibernate or suspend, you need a swap part03:51
nils-also under ram pressure kswapd can go nuts if there is no swap to draw from03:51
melwtech35ah i dont have kswapd is kde i guess03:52
syn-ackwell, if you have a swap file its kswap doesnt care03:52
syn-ackmelwtech35: Kernel swap03:52
melwtech35ah , i have no idea about that then :(03:52
syn-ackheh03:52
syn-ackkswapd is the kernels swap manager03:52
melwtech35i normally see "K" prefix and freak out thinking its kde4 or something03:52
ae86-drifter_anyone got the RADEON HD 5650 to work?03:53
melwtech35alright so, best to limit the swapiness but not to disable it completely03:53
syn-ackmelwtech35: Thats correct03:53
nils-melwtech35: yeah if you really have issues with swapping swappiness is the thing to look at.03:53
melwtech35syn-ack, swapiness to 10 instead of 6003:54
AegNuddelIs there anyway to make the whole session su/03:54
AegNuddelsu?03:54
melwtech35sudo su maybe03:54
syn-ackmelwtech35: thats a start03:54
kinja-sheepAegNuddel: sudo -i03:54
rhamptoniisudo su works03:54
AegNuddelWill that change the window manager as well03:55
AegNuddel?03:55
syn-ackno03:55
syn-ackbbl03:55
blakkheimmost ubuntu people tell you never use root, never use su, use gksudo for graphical apps etc03:55
AegNuddelgksudo?03:56
iflema!su03:56
melwtech35AegNuddel, use gksudo for graphical apps03:56
ubottusudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE)03:56
AegNuddelThere's a folder I need to copy data into03:56
AegNuddelit says so03:56
Tw|sT!gksudo03:56
ubottuIf you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)03:56

etfbJust installed Karmic on a new second-hand desktop.  Resolution is stuck at 800x600.  It worked at 1280x1024 in the live CD.  What do I do to make Jockey find a better driver?04:11
kinja-sheeprhamptonii: Is that all it is displaying?04:12
gsaliflema: it is almost as if it had something to do with my wireless...I know it does not make sense but it happens...04:12
ae86-drifter_after enabling the ATI driver, i get this watermark in the bottom right saying AMD - Unsupported hardware, this is , its a RADEON mobility HD 5650, on a intel core i304:13
rhamptoniikinja-sheep:  no there is the eth0 adapter also...only copied the part with wireless...you need to see all?04:13
kinja-sheeprhamptonii: Yeah. Yes, just paste it all.04:13
k0alais it possible to change desktop from gnome to kde without installing kubuntu ?04:14
rhamptoniikinja-sheep:  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/357372/04:14
melwtech35nils-, http://imagebin.org/80098 what do you think04:14
gsalk0ala: you mean simpy changing your window manager?04:14
ae86-drifter_k0ala, sudo apt-get install kde-desktop04:14
etfbk0ala, yeah, I did that when I first started, after I realised how limited Gnome is.  Just install the KDE window manager.04:15
nils-melwtech35: that I need more screen real estate04:15
ae86-drifter_gnome limited ???04:15
melwtech35nils-, heh04:15
ae86-drifter_how?04:15
k0alaetfb, i like the gnome manager but i havent seen kde04:15
kinja-sheeprhamptonii: Oh okay. I was under the impression that you took some chunk out of Wireless Interface.04:15
k0alaae86-drifter_, is that all?04:15
etfbae86-drifter_, Very.  Lots of decisions are made "at the factory" and you don't get to configure them.04:15
ae86-drifter_k0ala, yep04:15
katylAnyone know how to keep a specific user from showing on the GDM login screen on Karmic?04:15
k0alagsal, yes04:15
kinja-sheeprhamptonii: Belkin USB F5D8053 ?04:16
melwtech35nils-, i have a lovely image but no knowledge on how to interpret the results04:16
k0alathanks people04:16
rhamptoniikinja-sheep: correct04:16
ae86-drifter_k0ala, then when u login u can choose KDE session and set as default04:16
etfbk0ala, After you do it, you have to choose your preferred wm at startup.04:16
kinja-sheeprhamptonii: You're using ndiswrapper for that one?04:16
etfbae86-drifter_, Snap!04:16
nils-melwtech35: yeah I just realized that a bottle of wine will not help the analysis either04:16
ae86-drifter_hehe04:16
k0alaokay04:16
rhamptoniikinja-sheep: correct again04:16
melwtech35heh nils- dw i wll find someone who has a bigger screen and alcohol limit04:17
etfbHow do I find out if my Intel graphics driver is supported in Karmic?04:17
nils-melwtech35: good luck ;)04:17
rhamptoniikinja-sheep: rt2870 : driver installed.....04:17
ae86-drifter_okay so should i assume that this ATI 5650 is unsupported on linux?04:17
kinja-sheeprhamptonii: Hmm. "ndiswrapper -l" say anything?04:17
melwtech35ill ask kinja-sheep he\she seems smart; kinja-sheep are you able to help me interpret this and work out why my boot is so slow? http://imagebin.org/8009804:17
rhamptoniikinja-sheep: rt2870 : driver installed04:18
ae86-drifter_etfb, what card is it?04:18
k0alaE: Couldn't find package kde-desktop :(04:18
ChogyDank0ala: try kubuntu-desktop04:18
ae86-drifter_k0ala, uhh try apt get install kubuntu :)04:18
etfbae86-drifter_, Intel 82945G/GZ04:18
ae86-drifter_oh yeah.. what ChogyDan said04:18
etfbae86-drifter_, Not a very new machine, so you'd expect it would be supported.04:19
kinja-sheeprhamptonii: I'm reading it off ndiswrapper-wiki since I had no need for ndiswapper. You did "sudo depmod -a && sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" too ?04:19
ae86-drifter_etfb,  sounds like an onboard card true?04:19
k0alawhat do u think is the approx size of the download?04:19
etfbae86-drifter_, yes.04:19
gsalI just updated and lost the nice remix desktop, just have background with trash and home icons...anybody know how to get back to the remix desktop?  it seems to be behind04:19
rhamptoniikinja-sheep:  yes...i followed the same guide that i did before, only not working this time...seems others are having the same issue...not seen a solution yet04:20
ae86-drifter_i810, i815, i830, i845, i855, i865, i915, i945 and i965 series chipsets are supported04:20
kinja-sheepmelwtech35: I'm under the impression that you wanted a fast machine yet you have many silly things like usplash and xsplash (imo).04:21

MasterShrekso my friend has an ubuntu server set up, noticed that he was spamming and started looking at log files, hes seeing alot of attempts to log into his server as root (which he never does) wondering if anyone knows a way to stop this from happening, like say after a bunch of failed logins, to block the ip04:21
kinja-sheeprhamptonii: Latest answers often can be found on launchpad. I'll try and search for one. You should try there too.04:21
k0alaare c-media audio driver alternates avilable for linux?i found on their website that they make it only for windows04:21

wwwbryanHey, I am having a problem in Ubuntu 9.10 (not the prev versions) and my monitor cannot seem to auto adjust the screen correctly. It keeps adjusting it the wrong way almost every time. For example, my monitor is supposed to position the screen to meet all four sides of the screen. But it does not do that correctly with Ubuntu 9.10. The previous version worked fine. Is there a fix for this? Will Ubuntu fix it or wil I have to wa04:22
wwwbryanit until 10.04 comes out?04:22
MasterShreknils- interesting idea, thanks04:22
etfbae86-drifter_, I know it works because it ran fine with the live CD.  Once I installed Ubuntu, it stopped working.04:23
rhamptoniikinja-sheep:  new issue...was working on reinstalling ndiswrapper and when issued modprobe got:  FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.04:23
etfbae86-drifter_, It's aggravating.  I have better things to do.04:23
ae86-drifter_etfb, do you have xserver-xorg-video-intel installed?04:24
etfbae86-drifter_, yes.04:24
kinja-sheeprhamptonii: Try "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper"04:24
ae86-drifter_etfb, is it enabled in hardware drivers?04:25
etfbae86-drifter_, jockey-gtk just says there are no proprietary drivers in use, but doesn't give me any options.04:25
kinja-sheeprhamptonii: It worked now?04:26

FAJanonbadger: permissions stuff;   right now what is the command so i can create a user and put him in sudo04:28
wwwbryanOk, I guess nobody will answer my question.04:28
FAJ?04:28
anonbadgerput him sudoers... I would have to look it up04:29
paulmerSigh. I updated packages on a ubuntu machine and it wouldn't boot after that04:29
FAJsomething like sudo useradd...04:29
paulmergot stuck at grub menu04:29
paulmerdid ls / and saw initrd.old/kernel.old04:29
minimecetfb: If you have some problems with your GPU in combination with linux, i guess it would be good a try to install newer kernels from here (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/) in combination wuth the intel driver ppa (I do so for specific ati GPU). There is so much going on ... You cannot imagine... ;)04:29
paulmerbut no /kernel04:29
paulmerFail.04:30

minimecetfb: That is in fact a good question...04:31
etfbminimec, Why thank you.  I thought so too.04:31
FAJanonbadger: ok so i just reinstalled, but i wasn't able to get ubuntu to use my old home directory...04:31

anonbadgerok well your old /home will be on a separate partition04:32
anonbadgerso mount it and move it to your new /home04:32
FAJanonbadger: soooo what to do to make it use it?04:32
minimecetfb: When you load the live CD... Why don't you simpy do a sudo X --configure and save the xorg.conf.new on a stick? ;)04:32
herpezhi. i have a hp tablet tx2000 and i installed ubuntu 9.10. I updated, reboot and now the screen is black04:32
minimecetfb: Like that you should have a working xorg.conf...04:32
anonbadgerFAJ: do you want the config files in there too?04:33
etfbminimec, interesting idea.  But I thought it didn't use xorg.conf any more.04:33
FAJanonbadger: i want it just as it was :)04:33
FAJanonbadger: so yes i guess.04:33
ae86-drifter_anybody using the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 GPU04:33

anonbadgerdo you know how to get to the old /home?04:36

kinja-sheeprhamptonii: Take a look in /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper -- It is complaining because the file does not have ".conf" at the end. Also, what is in that file?04:45
anonbadgerpunto: The program 'asoundconf' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:04:46

puntoanonbadger: root@charly:/espacio/mp3# dpkg -L alsa-utils | grep conf04:47
puntothat gives me nothing04:47
kinja-sheeprhamptonii: Add ".conf" will fix that "WARNING" message btw.04:48
rhamptoniikinja-sheep:  it creates the .conf file when it does it...so there are ndiswrapper and ndiswrapper.conf with same info in that dir04:49

FAJkinja-sheep: right now i am logged in as louie in tty0,,, log out of it firstA?05:04
scuniziFAJ: so you have 2 users .. louisolds & louie .. and ultimately you want louie to log in and own /home/louis? did I get that right?05:04
paulmerIt's a 100 percent default install05:05
FAJscunizi: yes'sir05:05
paulmeron very mainsteam hardware05:05
paulmerRidiculous.05:05
kinja-sheepFAJ: Uh. I'm not sure. Better safe than sorry.05:05
ChogyDanpaulmer: well, that's the curse of linux I suppose.  Whats your partition makeup?05:05
brijithHi all how can I reorder os list in Boot loader  in Ubuntu 9.10... Which file to edit.05:05
paulmerChogyDan, I made seperate partitions for /var, /boot and swap05:05
paulmerYou know, having something to automatically update the kernel is stupid anyway..05:05
scuniziFAJ: and can you log in at this point as louie right now? .. regardless of the /home errors?05:05
paulmerI05:06
ChogyDanpaulmer: hmmm, well, there is a bug against the separate boot partition: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?2683405:06
paulmerI haven't had an issue with gentoo05:06

anonbadgersje46: what happened?05:06
sje46anonbadger, it's...not working05:07
sje46it has a bunch of code05:07
anonbadgeryeah05:07
sje46output*, but the partition still doesn't show up05:07
scuniziFAJ: ok.. so with you logged in as louie in a tty can you mount the /home/louis partition (doesn't matter if you can actually access a file.. just mount the drive/partition)05:07
paulmerbazhang, grub sucks anyway.05:07
paulmerIs lilo in the pacakge thing05:07
paulmerwhatever it's called on ubuntu05:07
FAJscunizi: the /home partition is set as /home from the install.05:08
scuniziFAJ: can you rename the /home/louis to louie to match the user name you want to log in as?05:08
ChogyDanpaulmer: https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/grub2/+bug/403408        that's the ubuntu bug that I found, sorry things didn't work out05:10
FAJscunizi: i can try;...... shooot,,, see now i have a /home/louie a /home/louis/ a /home/test/ and a /home/louiOLD05:10
scuniziFAJ: which one has the files in it you want?05:10
FAJscunizi: prettttty sure /home/louis05:10
jjmartinevery time i login a terminal either by byobu or alt+crtl+F1 i get this http://pastebin.com/mf831822. how do i prevent that from being displayed05:10
scuniziFAJ: k.. sudo mv /home/louis /home/louie05:11
anonbadgersje46: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/windows/05:11
brijithHi all how can I reorder os list in Boot loader  in Ubuntu 9.10... Which file to edit. ?05:11
FAJscunizi: how can i be for sure...... should i first sudo mv /home/louie /homelouiebad?05:11
sje46anonbadger, no such directory05:11
FAJok just did what you said scunizi05:12
sje46usually it's /media/55435bunchofnumbers5849305:12
brijithHi all how can I reorder os list in Boot loader  in Ubuntu 9.10... Which file to edit. In ubuntu 9.04 there was a file some where in /boot/grub/05:12
scuniziFAJ: k.. now sudo chmod louie:louie /home/louie05:12
FAJscunizi:  so now have a /home/louie, louiebad, louie old, test05:12
FAJscunizi:  kk05:12
FAJscunizi:  i am logged in as louie currently... fyi? keep going?05:13
scuniziFAJ: now it's probably best to sudo restart now .. and log in as louie.. see if gui comes up and you have access to the files.05:14
FAJscunizi: after running command above?05:14
calliscopehi05:14
scuniziyep..05:14
scuniziFAJ: you could try a startx or sudo service gdm start05:14
FAJscunizi:  chmod ; invalid mode: 'louie:louie'05:15

anonbadgersje46: sudo mkdir /media/windows05:15

anonbadgersudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/windows/05:15

JoshDreamlandCan anyone tell me where to get Flurry?05:16
blakkheimFAJ: i think you're looking for chown not chmod05:16
scuniziFAJ: my mistake.. sudo chown louie:louie /home/louie05:16
scuniziFAJ: forget chmod right now.05:16
JoshDreamlandI tried downloading from the Ubuntu forum. Prompted for login, so I made an account. Permission denied.05:16
scuniziuse chown05:16
FAJscunizi:  ahhh :)  thank you for your help sooo much, seriously05:16
FAJscunizi: chown worked05:16
scuniziFAJ: cool.. you could try startx and see what happens05:17
sje46anonbadger, wow, that worked!  I'm surprised05:17
anonbadgerhaha05:17
anonbadgerI knew we would get it to work05:17
JoshDreamlandPeople have been screaming about the Flurry screensaver being CPU intensive and even volatile, but I've run it before, a million years ago, and I'd like to run it again05:17
FAJscunizi: even while logged into louie in tty- with / as ~ ??05:17
anonbadgersje46: wanna make a script?05:17
scuniziFAJ: you might need to restart.. better on a fresh slate so to speak05:18
sje46anonbadger, is it possible to mount it again, though?  Because usually it's /media/585943/05:18
FAJscunizi: restart sounds good05:18
sje46anonbadger, well, I think I already have the command05:18
anonbadgeryes just mkdir /media/58594305:18
anonbadgersudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/58594305:18
FAJscunizi: so then try to logon as louie, correct?05:19
scuniziFAJ: yep05:19
FAJscunizi: "your home directory is listed as : '/home/louis' but it does not appear to exist....05:19
FAJscunizi: ok so now we need to make /home/louie the home directory, not home louis...05:19
scuniziFAJ: k.. rename it again.. sudo mv /home/louie /home/louis .. hopefully that will work05:20

ubottuUsually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.05:38
scuniziFAJ: when you made the drive bigger did you stretch it on the beginning side or the end of the partition.. (not sure that will tell us anything though)05:38
JohnTeddyWhat is the best music client to use with ubuntu 9.10 according to whoever answers this question?05:38
FAJscunizi: stretched it on the beginning, stretched it towards the front of the drive...05:39

Dr_WillisTangentCollision:  how did you make the usb flash device bootable?05:48
scuniziFAJ: perhaps.. after it copies you'll have to .. sudo chown -R testy:testy /home/testy .. or similar syntax to make sure testy owns all the files.05:49
Darkedgeblakkheim: -_-05:49
TangentCollisionDr_Willis: tried unetbootin and ubuntu's "USB installer (pendrivelinux.com) for 9.10"05:49
blakkheimDarkedge: it's proprietary software, there's nothing else you can do05:49
Dr_Willisits amazing  how much CPU flash can steal.05:49
TangentCollisionneither of which work05:49

Dr_WillisTangentCollision:  ive seen others with similer issues.. but no idea on the fix. ive never had he issue.05:49
TangentCollisionhow did you manage to do it then?05:49
Dr_WillisTangentCollision:  unetbootin worrked for me last i tried it with alternative installer.05:50
Darkedgeblakkheim: -_- is there some alternitives to doing basic things like Youtube? >.>05:50
Dr_WillisTangentCollision:  or you could try making a grub2 boot usb that uses the iso file i guess05:50
blakkheimDarkedge: afraid not bro. you can look into gnash but it's pretty sucky05:50
Out_ColdTangentCollision, did you make the usb while in the live cd?05:50
scuniziFAJ: then if you can login as testy and get a gui AND use the files as testy's own.. then you can either keep that account and delete the others or delete the others and then recreate the one you want.. copy the data back to the right user .. rinse and repeate05:50
TangentCollisionOut_Cold: no05:50
Dr_WillisDarkedge:  google was working on its own openm video format i recall.05:50
Out_ColdTangentCollision, try that05:50
Darkedgeblakkheim: is it as slow? >.>05:50
blakkheimDarkedge: never tried it05:50
Dr_WillisDarkedge:  and the divx guys have decent streaming features also05:50
DarkedgeDr_Willis: ok thanks :)05:51
TangentCollisionOut_Cold: there's not really much of a "liveCD" here, man05:51
blakkheimDarkedge: you can download every youtube video and then play it locally in mplayer, that shouldn't lag05:51
Dr_WillisDarkedge:  so yes. there are alternatives to using flash video. LOADS of alternatives05:51
TangentCollisionOut_Cold: and what EXACTLY would you accomplish by "making the USB in the liveCD"05:51
ubuntu0o1not sure what youre looking for, TangentCollision - any chance you could recap for us who recently joined?05:51
TangentCollisionubuntu0o1: you were here :P05:52
TangentCollisionThe Alternate install requests the CD to be inserted, I've tried directing it to the USB device, but I get nothing, what should I do?05:52
Out_ColdTangentCollision, while in the cd, you can make a casper (persistent) usb. I've tried without and couldn't do it until i was live05:52
TangentCollisionso you say I should casper it?05:52
TangentCollisionI can remake with casper05:52
Out_ColdTangentCollision, why not? that way you can customize05:53
TangentCollision...?05:53
FAJscunizi:  did that, not in.05:53
ubuntu0o1ok i got that, but what are you trying to do?05:53
Out_Coldi think you can install still05:53
Dr_Willisunetbootin really needd a feature to make a casper-rw save file05:53

TangentCollisionI'm trying to alternate install for minimal, ubuntu0o105:53
FAJscunizi: just went to another tty-05:53

lgcHow is it that when I iconize a window it gets lost on the right of my panel?06:13
ubuntu0o1good luck with your next choice of distro then :D06:13
scuniziFAJ: what I'm thinking is to boot to it.. reinstall.. using the initial user setup as louie as a user name and do manual partitioning so you can avoid formatting the /home partition.. just make sure you name it or tag it as home during the install.. shouldn't take that long really.06:14
ubuntu0o1i wonder what the fateful "third step" was on his odyssey?06:14
FAJscunizi: louis is in /home/louis06:14
scuniziFAJ: yea.. louis or louie.. your choice.. :)06:14
FAJscunizi: no not that; what do i need; do i want it to match it as /home/louis or not?06:15
FAJb/c if i say /home/louie it will make a new /home06:15
lgcYo! Where can I tweak in order to avoid my iconized windows disappear on the right of the panel?06:16
scuniziFAJ: yes.. on install it will ask for the users name.. enter louis.. create a password.. choose manual partitioning so you can point the partitioner to the /home partition.. and set the / and /swap where they currently are.. DONT format /home for format the others..06:16

FAJFlannel: idk how to do that?  sorreee.06:39
FlannelFAJ: You'll need to log in to the terminal (ctrl-alt-f1, then log in) and use mv (mv source destination) to move some of your folders.  I'm... not really sure which ones.  But we can look once we're there.06:40
FlannelFAJ: `ls -al` while in your homedir will list things, they'll be .gnome* or maybe .g* I'm not really up to date on what config files gnome handles.  Someone else would be able to check with their own systems and tell you for su06:41

Coded1geitenneuker, you can basically just copy straight to /dev/shm and it will automatically expand to %50 of your physical ram, if thats what you wanted to do.07:25
anto9usThe number at the end of this line can be between 0 and 100. At 100 the Linux kernel will prefer to find inactive pages and swap them out, while value 0 gives something close to the old behavior where applications that wanted memory could shrink the cache to a tiny fraction of RAM.07:25

mneptokgareth__1: there is no problem08:29
Diverdudewolter, hmm but it does not seem possible to set the icon size in there08:29
kinja-sheeplorph: All I know is that you set the configuration file to your liking, update the grub. That's it. Change another settings (then update again). If you want, you can do "grub-mkconfig" too. Also, there are #grub channel. ;o08:29

context-anyone know why ssh gets started, then restarted when i boot this x64 9.10 box08:51

Dr_Willisverb3k:  no idea. try the thing and see.08:52
Dr_WillisBASS = low frequencies i guess.08:52
ghostknifeinfid: which errors?08:55
ghostknifeinfid: are you using a file ON the ext4 volume?08:55
infidghostknife: yes08:56
ghostknifeinfid: in other words, your volume is something like /home/myhome/volume.tc, which /home/myhome is on an ext4 fs?08:56
infidghostknife: 'mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/truecrypt1, missing codepage or helperp rogramer..'08:56
ghostknifeinfid: you using the truecrypt gui?08:56
infidghostknife: yeah, it's /media/usb/test.tc which is an ext4 system08:56
infidyeah the gui08:57
infidand i'm trying to mount to /media/tc08:57
ghostknifeinfid: oh, so the volume itself is formatted with ext4?08:57
ghostknifeinfid: let me give it a go quickly.08:57
infidthe volume was created in windows version of truecrypt, so ntfs08:57
infidbut i'm using the mount options: "rw,sync,utf8/uid=1000,umask=0000"08:58
ghostknifeinfid: ok, so let me get this straight. it's a tc volume, created in windows, formatted with NTFS, and stored on an ext4 partition?08:59
infidyes08:59
ghostknifeinfid: shouldn't be a problem08:59
infidi have since ditched windows for ubuntu, so i need to use linux/truecrypt from now on :)08:59
ghostknifeinfid: the source filesystem shouldn't make a difference, because it's "abstracted" away from the userspace utilities08:59
infidyeah, i was able to mount a truecrypt'd ntfs usb drive onto linux/ext3 once09:00
infidbut i'm starting to think truecrypt doesnt like ext409:01
ghostknifeinfid: try and put the file onto usb-drive and see if it mounts then09:01
infidi can't, it's a 50gb file09:01
ghostknifeinfid: hmm09:01
infidwell09:01
infidit is on a usb harddrive right now actually09:01
ghostknifethen create a 60gb loopback, format with ext3, put it on there, and then try and mount it09:01
Dr_Willisinfid:  i bet the dog ate it.09:01
infidjust not a flash drive, same difference though. the drive is external usb drive is ntfs formatted09:01
ghostknifeinfid: so where does the ext4 come in?09:02
ZeekDaGeekIs there a tool to fix bad hard drive sectors in Ubuntu?09:02
infidthe file was created in vista/truecrypt. then mv'd to an external 500gb usb harddrive, which linux sees as /media/usb. ext4 comes into play as /media/tc09:02
infidsince my / is all ext409:03
ghostknifeinfid: ok, but the TC volume is physically stored on an NTFS drive?09:03
infidcorrect09:03
ghostknifeinfid: get your story straight then09:03
ghostknifeinfid: either way, the problem isn't the filesystem it's stored on09:03
ghostknifeinfid: try and run truecrypt from a terminal09:04
infidi dont know what the .tc file is formatted as. does tc even format as nfts, ext, etc? i can't remember. i just know for sure the .tc file is stored on an nfts drive09:05
ghostknifeinfid: TC can format as fat, and ext2/309:05
ghostknifeinfid: In Linux at least. On windows it might be able to format as NTFS09:05
infidnot sure how to run truecrypt from a terminal. never did it09:05
apriluswc09:05
infidghostknife: well i know it can when it's formatting a partition but i didnt do that. i just created a file container09:06
ghostknifeinfid: the option to format is part of creating the container.09:06
ghostknifeinfid: another option is "cross platform" support. maybe you didn't enable that09:06
infidok, then i probably did ntfs09:06
infiddo i have to install somethin special to use truecrypt from the cli? i just have the gui .deb package installed09:07
ghostknifeinfid: running it from the cli with --help will show the options09:07
ghostknifeinfid: it also gives better output09:07

infidworked :D thanks09:11
ghostknifeinfid: ok, well. you must have done something wrong then. if you dismount it, it should work through the GUI as well09:11
ghostknifeinfid: I'm glad it worked. It would suck loosing a TC volume09:12

zetherooschultza: i have had it before but was not impressed as things were not working without a lot of tweaking ...09:24

zetherooschultza: Avidemux is supposed to do it as well but in Karmic its messed up for converting to FLV09:25

infidmaybe there's files in your home that take a while to scan or something09:35
JasonrjI've got an issue with my wireless. I'm a newbie, so I don't really know what to do. According to the lspci command, the OS can see my wireless adapter, but I see that I have no network connection. I'm using Xubuntu on an Acer TravelMate 2300, it's pretty old.09:35
infiddahlia: synergy works for me before i login by default, to enter my password at the gnome login screen09:35
andrew_46_Darkstar_: For media playback if you are happy with the commandline there is mplayer-nogui09:35
dahliainfid, how did you set it up?09:35
_Darkstar_andrew_46: thanks dude09:36
infiddahlia, but you have to have synergc running already on the client machine09:36
dahliamine wont work until I start quicksynergy and then execute it09:36
infiddahlia: google 'ubuntu synergy howto' there's details in it09:36
dahliaty09:36
Topy44what i dont get is: using the unr launcher is perfectly quick, everything is really responsive, its just switching to it from another app that takes forever09:37
Topy44i am running on an ancient first generation eee pc btw09:37
infiddahlia: i dont use quicksynergy. quicksynergy is fine for intially creating a synergy.conf but once it's working move it to ~/.synergy.conf then just use the command line 'synergys' and 'synergyc'09:38

andrew_46_Darkstar_: irssi can be prettied up .... a little :)09:39
infiddahlia:  yeah the howto explains different ways of launching synergyc during system startup09:39
jerkfacei updated the alpha today, and now i have no sound, and I can't reboot or mount anything from gnome. Guess i will install 9.1009:39
Topy44switching to the unr launcher is not causing much of a cpu surge, so i dont think thats the problem either...09:40

nomnexvyazovoi, yes, but the folders do not contain any hard links command "ln"09:58
Andorinsiggy: Yeah. The problem is this: LAN connections from the router will work fine, but with wireless, I can connect to the router but not the Internet. The router is set up in front of a modem/router device with DHCP disabled because the wireless on the modem/router is crap. And the wireless was working fine earlier today when I set it up, but then I wake up and can't connect.09:59
llutznomnex: "Directories - The amount of links or directories within the directory. The default amount of directories is going to always be 2 because of the . and .. directories"10:00

diverse_izzueyou'd have to specify the issues, i haven't personally run into any10:12

phaeseioquitus: (if you're looking for anecdotal answers :P)10:15

zetheroois there a way to make an image of my entire Hard Drive so that I can just restore my new HDD with a replica of my current setup?10:20
nixjrdiverse_izzue, is there a way to bring up exactly what kind of sound chip i have from within ubuntu?10:21
kinja-sheepflexible: It is only 10-12MB at most. It is where worldwide settings and sources.list, personal ppa, and whatnot. Not a big deal. :)10:21
guntbertzetheroo: look at clonezilla10:21
diverse_izzueflexible, i would in any case keep a backup of /etc. i would not necessarily keep it when reinstalling, you also risk keeping old cruft10:21
zetherooguntbert: ah yes .. thanks10:21
diverse_izzuebashca, what package is that? which application gives you that error message?10:21
Pathero-nghello people10:22
AkhlDhelp meeeeeee http://pastebin.com/d299611eb10:22
Pathero-ngI want to know why loading firefox takes longer10:22
Pathero-ngwhen running as user then root10:22
nixjrPathero-ng, i dont use ff but could plugins be user specific? i think each plugin adds to the load time10:23
diverse_izzuePathero-ng, I don't know, but you should most certainly not run it as root10:23
Pathero-ngit use to run fast as user too10:23
guntbertnixjr: why do you run FF as root?10:23
Pathero-nguntil I changed the firefox executabvle to fire10:23
diverse_izzueone thing you could try is clean it's database, or create a new profile for your user10:23
kinja-sheepPathero-ng: "firefox -safe-mode" and see if that's about same as root.10:23
nixjrguntbert, i dont use ff at all, i think you mean Pathero-ng10:24
Pathero-ngI10:24
guntbertnixjr: yes, sorry - clumsy finger syndrome :-)10:24
Pathero-ngheard running a graphical program with sudo messes it up10:24
ardchoille!gksudo | Pathero-ng10:25
ubottuPathero-ng: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)10:25
Topy44hm, i am getting this error on apt-get update, but i cannot figure out where it gets that repository address from: "W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  404  Not Found"10:25

Pathero-nglike how10:26
bashcasorry  d/c  back10:27
bashcadiverse_izzue: flashplugin-nonfree10:27
Pathero-ngis it the same as using gksudo running as root off the icon10:27
ardchoillePathero-ng: trust me, you don't want to run any internet apps as root user.10:27
diverse_izzuebashca, have you tried doing what it says? sudo aptitude reinstall flashplugin-nonfree10:27
kinja-sheepguntbert: Are you familiar with seahorse or libgnome-keyring?10:28
Pathero-ng,,,, people10:28
guntbertPathero-ng: because when someone attcks your browser he will work with root permissions - so have immediate access to your whole system10:28
bashcayes  also  i tried  fix broken pack10:28
Pathero-ngok and another thing is10:28
bazhangPathero-ng, disable all plugins10:28
Pathero-ngit loads slower10:28
Pathero-nghow10:28
guntbertkinja-sheep: if you want to remove the wlan passphrase question - yes10:28
Pathero-ngloads slower when run as user after I renamed firefox to fire10:28
Pathero-ngin an attempo to identiy what exe the icon was pointnto10:28
kinja-sheepguntbert: Okay. Could you tell me what I'm doing it wrong? I followed the instruction from LifeHacker and whatnot. Can't get it to work so far.10:29
AkhlDPathero-ng, can u help me with http://pastebin.com/d299611eb ?10:29
Pathero-ngfor waht10:29
bazhangPathero-ng, you never need to run firefox as root. disable plugins and see which one is causing the slowdown10:29
kinja-sheepguntbert: http://tinyurl.com/2lwj6a10:29
Pathero-ngok man10:29
Pathero-ngu mean flash10:29
bazhangPathero-ng, not really10:29
ardchoillePathero-ng: you probably have an extension that is slowing down firefox10:30
bashcadiverse_izzue: yes  and  i tried  fixing  broken pack >>>>>>>>>10:30
bazhangPathero-ng, there are tons of extensions that slow it down as they are badly written10:30
Topy44diverse_izzue: hm, i removed the files i found there containing it, and the error still shows. do i need to tell apt to re-read its sources list somehow?10:30
Pathero-ngaddon?10:30
nixjrare firefox plugins user specific?10:30
ardchoillePathero-ng: yes10:30
bashcadiverse_izzue: ?10:31
Pathero-ngok I removed noscript10:31
Pathero-ngtthat's the only addon10:31
Pathero-ngbut still slow10:31
Pathero-ngI just disabled plugins10:32
ardchoillePathero-ng: my only advice is to rename ~/.mozilla, open the browser with a fresh config and set it up again10:32
diverse_izzuebashca, back, sorry10:32
ardchoillePathero-ng: I use adblock and noscript and my firefox is fast10:32
guntbertkinja-sheep: ah I see - I did it the easier way - as I have no passwords stored in that keyring I removed the password from the keyring10:33
diverse_izzuebashca, what happened when you execute the  command i wrote?10:33
Pathero-ngI use noscript to block google cookies10:33
Pathero-ngon pages where it has nothing to do with it10:33
Pathero-ngsuch as text translators10:33
bashcadiverse_izzue: I wasn't able to locate file for the flashplugin-nonfree package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package10:33
guntbert!enter | Pathero-ng10:33
ubottuPathero-ng: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!10:33
ardchoillePathero-ng: you can go into your firefox options and block 3rd party cookies, that will help with that10:33
bashcadiverse_izzue: Internal error: couldn't generate list of packages to download10:34
siggyAndorin: I'm not sure if I get your setup right http://pastebin.com/d2a25a565 care to tell exact models of routers?10:34
Pathero-ngseems like a good idea renaming mozilla ~10:34
Pathero-ngdo I do it as root10:34
ardchoilleno10:34
kinja-sheepguntbert: If you think your approach will help, by all means, free feel to guide me. I didn't have seahorse installed (in first place). I'll purge all passwords in seahorse.10:34
Pathero-ngshould I make firefox be owned by user10:34
diverse_izzuebashca, does the package installation work for other packages?10:34
ardchoillePathero-ng: nothing in your home diredtory should be owned by root10:35
bazhangPathero-ng, you say it is slow, as compared to what? before you started running it as root? On another OS?10:35
bashcadiverse_izzue: nope10:36
diverse_izzuebashca, ah so effectively your apt is broken :-(10:36
guntbertkinja-sheep: open seahorse - use the first tab (passwords) - right click on passwords:login - select change password10:36
bashcadiverse_izzue: yes10:36
Topy44hm, also ubuntu is constantly telling me that my battery is "old or broken", but as i still get like 3 hours out of it i would hardly call it broken...10:37

wakatakei currently have 86 running processes..some might be unnecessary..how to tell which are relevant and which are not?10:38

kinja-sheepwakatake: 86 processes? Are you running a server or something?10:40
diverse_izzuecan you refresh your packages lists with apt? sudo aptitude update?10:40
wakatakekinja-sheep, yea sir10:40
wakatake9.10 LTS10:40
ardchoillewakatake: 9.10 is not an LTS10:40
kinja-sheepwakatake: 9.10 is not LTS. It is either 8.04 or 10.04. For starters, you could pastebin some information (ie, installed packages or running services).10:41
wakatakeokie give me a second10:41
bashcadiverse_izzue: yes (Reading package lists... Done)10:41
kinja-sheepguntbert: It does not work. I kept getting prompted.10:41
geitenneuker9.04 is lts i think10:41
diverse_izzuebashca, does removing work now. sudo aptitude remove flashplugin-nonfree10:42
ardchoillegeitenneuker: no10:42
bashcadiverse_izzue: nope10:42
kinja-sheepgeitenneuker: It is not. See above. :O10:42
diverse_izzuewhat does it say if you try to install some new package, that you havne't had installed before?10:42
ardchoilleiirc, the only LTS that is supported now are 6.06, 8.04 and 10.04 will be out in April10:42
bashcadiverse_izzue:  package failed to install.  Trying to recover:10:42
napsyHello. I'm thinking to install arch over my ubuntu installation. The only problem is I have my home encrypted wen installing ubuntu. Can anyone tell me if the ubuntu encryption is compatible with other distributions?10:42
geitenneukeri wonder why they change the release cycle instead of partial upgrades10:43
bashcadiverse_izzue: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should  reinstall it before attempting a removal.10:43
kinja-sheepnapsy: How did you encrypt your home? Via cryptsetup?10:43
napsykinja-sheep: setup did that for me10:43
diverse_izzuebashca, can you try opening synaptic10:43
bashcadiverse_izzue: ok10:43
kinja-sheepnapsy: Which one? There are two -- Home encryption (eCrypts) or full-system encryption (found in minimal+alternative disc).10:44
diverse_izzuethen go to "custom filters" in the lower left10:44
wakatakekinja-sheep, http://pastebin.com/md5e5ac610:44
diverse_izzueand finally choose "broken" on the left side10:44

aliquererI have a blog in XML format, exported from blogger.com. how do i open it in ubuntu?10:44
bashcadiverse_izzue: yes10:44
ardchoillealiquerer: open it in gedit10:45
diverse_izzuereinstalling from synaptic doesn't work either i guess?10:45
bashcadiverse_izzue: yes10:45
kinja-sheepnapsy: Err, I'm not sure. "Encrypt home directory" is what you mean? Either way, by all means, you should make backup. cryptsetup is nice and linux-native (if that's not what you're using).10:45
diverse_izzuebashca, hmmm, try removing it with dpkg directly. sudo dpkg -r flashplugin-nonfree10:45
aliquererardchoille: it wont open correctly10:46
napsykinja-sheep: yes I've checked "encrypt home directory" during the installation10:46
bashcadiverse_izzue: dosn't work10:46
bashcaalso10:46
aliquererardchoille: i want it to be viewed as a blog or diary10:46
ardchoillealiquerer: if you're wanting it to look exactly like it looks in blogger, that won't happen10:46
diverse_izzuebashca, dpkg -S flashplugin-nonfree10:46
napsykinja-sheep: now ~/.Private is mounted to my ~/ as "encryptfs"10:47
aliquererardchoille: ok, then how can i do to continue my blogging in a new software?10:47
ardchoillealiquerer: you'll have to open it from your blogger.com page10:47
bashcadiverse_izzue: in  procressing10:47
ardchoillealiquerer: see if blogger.com allows "export", and then use that to import it to new software10:47
guntbertkinja-sheep: the correct place to set the password: http://imagebin.org/80130 (you must set the keyring password!)10:47
kinja-sheepnapsy: I see. I'm not familiar with that one (but cryptsetup is in one of the dependencies).10:48
aliquererardchoille: yes it allows export. that gets me the xml file10:48
diverse_izzuesorry, bashca, what i wanted was dpkg -L flashplugin-nonfree10:48
kinja-sheepnapsy: I don't know if ecryptfs is supported by Arch either.10:48
diverse_izzuedoes it list the files belonging to that package?10:48
ardchoillealiquerer: then see if the new software allows importing of xml files10:48
bashcadiverse_izzue: no  problem  u  r  helping me  don't sorry again ;)10:48
napsykinja-sheep: ok thanks anyway ... I think I found a way10:48

bashcadiverse_izzue: it show me list  ??  what after that10:50
diverse_izzuebashca, i just wanted to see if the database "knows" what files belong to that package, so that seems to work10:50
ardchoillealiquerer: if you're wanting something like a wiki-style diary, then try tomboy or gnote.. it's like a desktop wiki10:51
bashcadiverse_izzue: so ?? what next10:51
ardchoillealiquerer: for personal diary, I simply use gedit and keep a folder of diary pages for each day10:51
kinja-sheepguntbert: Not working. That was the same thing I did. On the side note, I don't have login.keyring under ~/.gnome2/keyrings but default.keyring --> login.keyring does not work either.10:52

ardchoillealiquerer: once it's all set up, the work is over and you only need to edit the journal. the work takes four minutes10:56
AndorinI manually find the deleted files and try to delete them. It warns you that it can't send them to Trash and asks if you want to delete them straightaway.10:56
lanoxxAndorin, so i just remove the whole folder or just its subfolders? I was a bit confused because there are two subfolders info and files10:56

ubottumeowbuntu: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports.11:37
guntbertkinja-sheep: yes - I thought I told you so - but maybe I didn't - glad it worked out for you11:37

PureWhat do most bioses mean by network boot?11:55
icerootPure: booting an os over the network using PXE (thin clients do it)11:55
vltsilv3r_m00n: But you should know first what you're actually need11:55
vltPure: PXE I think11:56
PureI'm wodnering if the computer supports it11:56
icerootPure: the bios has to support it11:56
PureSo, could I boot the installer over PXE?11:56
icerootPure: no11:57
PureGhost it?11:57
icerootPure: you need a terminal-server for that11:57
PureAny thing over the network?11:57
vltPure: You can also install a tiny PXE boot image to another bootable medium like floppy, usb or even the network card's ROM. See www.etherboot.org for example11:57
kinja-sheepPure: PXE is more complicated than USB installation. It works by having one machine serving boot files and any other machines with PXE-capable booting (then obtain files from the first machine)... to install stuffs.11:58
PureI wonder if that 1GB flash drive still works...11:59
vltPure: PXE is a collection of protocols. First the client does DHCP, then TFTP for the kernel11:59

sooposjrib: The installation seems to refer to it13:46
jribsoopos: that's for manual installation.  You have installed it already by installing the cython package.  Move on to actually using cython13:46

ben_germanyalright14:00
ben_germanyi just installed ubuntu14:00
ben_germanyand i have an ati graphics card, so i downloaded the drivers from their website14:00
ben_germanyafterwards ubuntu told me it wanted to update some stuff14:00
ben_germanyso i did that14:00
ben_germanyand now after the reboot, the ati driver seems kind of messed up14:00
DiverdudeI am running matlab. It seems that when I have done some very heavy calculations in matlab, the entire linux system starts to lag and the header disappears from the windows so I cannot move them around and basically I have to restart the machine before its good again. This happens even if I close matlab after the calculations. What is the cause of that?14:00
ben_germanyi can still use the hdmi port and all resolutions, but i cannot use desktop effects on normal or high, and the scrolling is awfully slow14:01
sooposjrib: My irssi is running at my Uni's server. They are very paranoid. It is apparent that they have blocked something which blocks the piping to me14:01

HypothesisFrogwhere's a good place to store fonts on ubuntu? /usr/share/fonts ?14:02
kinja-sheepruadh: Great. There also are inkscape and gimp but that's more of artistic. However, I find inkscape to be easy after few hours of practices and I was able to make a nice restaurant meal out of it.14:02
jribsoopos: there's no piping, ubottu just sends you text the same way I do14:02
ben_germanyshould i just reinstall the ati drivers?14:02
jribkinja-sheep: wait.  I can make /meals/ in inkscape?14:02
ben_germanyor would that be bad^^14:02
kinja-sheepjrib: Make a brochure. Chomp chomp it away.14:03
jribben_germany: if you installed the ati drivers manually by downloading them, then you need to always reinstall them after a kernel upgrade.  It's easier if you just use the repositories14:03

mikeyfbi2B3rz3rk3r, this is definitely the case, i just dont know how to fix it ... so im looking for a way around it14:26
B3rz3rk3rmikeyfbi2, you could also just manually choose to boot from disk during POST14:26

Lostinspace_46Am I correct that if I "mkdir" a folder named ~/bin that scripts in that folder will run at startup?16:44
buttons840does anyone know of a basic hardware chat?  or perhaps someone can just answer my question quick: i have 4 dimm slots in a computer, do all ram chips in these slots need to have the same timings?16:44
IdleOneoorah: them your machine is magic16:44
macoLostinspace_46: no16:44
oorahIdleOne, maybe it is lol16:44
macoLostinspace_46: it'll be in your $PATH, that's all16:44
IdleOnethen*16:44
oorahIdleOne, wanna screenshot for confirmation?16:45
llutzLostinspace_46: check your ~/.profile or .bashrc if it will be taken into PATH if ~/bin exists16:45
happybuttons840: it all depends on your specific computer. Most need 2 or 416:45
meindian523Hinata, let me clarify, I select what I want, press [, and place the curson where I want to paste and press ]?16:45
oorahIdleOne, what ya think i should do?16:45
IdleOneoorah: I believe you, just don't see how you were able to boot without a boot manager16:45
kinja-sheepLostinspace_46: You can run the scripts that resides in ~/bin but it's not the startup scripts.16:45
oorahIdleOne, should i install one of these or leave it as it is?16:45
happybuttons840: but they have to be in the right slots. By 2 or 4 I mean that you must have them in pairs16:45
meindian523buttons840, same timings as in?16:45
IdleOneoorah: I say, leave well enough alone16:45
fgreinushi @ all16:46
meindian523buttons840, they need to be of the same generation AFAIK16:46

oorahis it making any more sense now?16:54

arvind_khadrimcramos, check the levels in alsamixer17:15

JoeSomeLapyoyoned, ok that did nothing?18:28

blakkheimPathero-ng: you could mv your ~/.mozilla to a different backup directory and then start firefox. all settings will be reset..19:00
wolterPathero-ng, good advice ^19:00
fluxw0rmwolter: it appears to be an invalid theme when dragging the .tar.gz file into the Appearance app.19:02
fluxw0rmPerhaps I can move the theme folder somewhere like ~/.themes or whatever directory GDM keeps its theme files.19:02
Toddevening19:03
wolterThats what dragging to Appearance does19:03
wolterfluxw0rm, can you compare a theme that works by dragging with the one that does not? download both tar.gz files and observe the structure19:03

mattgyverHey guys, i setup a raid1 config in ubuntu back when i first setup this box, i just wanna test to make sure its working properly, can i just unplug a drive  and see if it boots?20:19
Jasonrjminimec: I see "lo no wireless extensions." and on the next line "eth0 no wireless extensions."20:19
Lostinspace_46I put this little snippet in my ~/.bashrc file to run xbindkeys at startup.  Could someone look here to see what I did wrong?  http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d25bf220a20:20
mrwesJasonrj, have you checked System | Admin | Hardware Drivers ?20:20
icerootmattgyver: yes, that is the job of a raid120:20
jribLostinspace_46: why are you using ~/.bashrc?20:21
mattgyvericeroot, yeah i just wanted to make sure thats how i would go about testing the raid20:21
jrib!startup | Lostinspace_4620:21
ubottuLostinspace_46: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot20:21
mattgyverIts at a point where i kinda need to know that i set it up right ;)20:21
minimecJasonrj: Ok. now type dmesg in the console. Look for some errors in conerning your wireless device.20:21
Jasonrjmrwes, Yes, it says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system."20:22
minimecJasonrj: If you can, paste.ubuntu.com us the output.20:22
jribLostinspace_46: and '.' is not a mysterious thing to execute things.  . is a special symlink to the current directory20:22
mrwesJasonrj, hrmm.....type lspci at the terminal20:22
mrwesJasonrj, look for your wireless card: 02:03.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)20:23
brummbaerLostinspace_46, like jrib said, the '.' is what jumps out at me.20:23
mrwessomething similar to that20:23
jribLostinspace_46: but ~/.bashrc is not the right place for what you are doing anyway, see ubottu20:23
daftykinsif i want to move a folder 'folder' into another using "mv" how can i tell it i don't care about it overwriting all the contents? it's manually updating wordpress. i can't see anything useful on the manpage for 'mv'20:23
mrwesmv -f for force20:24
Lostinspace_46jrib> because I want to learn scripting. I meant that to be ./ which I thought meant run20:24
daftykinsmrwes: it still says 'directory not empty'20:24
luckyMy laptop (Toshiba NB305) doesn't wake from sleep or hibernate with Ubuntu, where should i go to start trying to fix this? :/20:25
brummbaerLostinspace_46, ./ is for running a script in current dir.20:25
jribLostinspace_46: it's good that you want to learn scripting, but this is not a good case for it20:25
mrwesdaftykins, -t for target directory?20:25
Lostinspace_46brummbaer>  thanks20:25
daftykinsmrwes: ah that seemed to throw no errors, i'll see what it did! thanks20:25
Lostinspace_46jrib> Why.. or why not?20:26
mrwesdaftykins, you can always use -verbose to see what's going on20:26
Jasonrjmrwes, The only thing that seems like it is my wireless card is this: "02:04:0 Ethernet controller: Linksys, A Division of Cisco Systems [AirConn] INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter (rev 01)20:26
daftykinsmrwes: yeah, haha actually that totally deleted my destination folder.20:26
jribLostinspace_46: because .bashrc gets executed everytime you start a bash shell and I assume you don't want to have xbindkeys run everytime you start a shell but instead want it to run one time (when you log in)20:26
mrwesJasonrj, INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter << that's your card20:27
phong_hi guys, how to completely remove wine ?20:27

ubottumorrowyn: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox20:53
Casieodo they make mirc for linux or must i use xchat20:53
Hilikushow do i remove a daemon from starting at startup in ubuntu server?20:53
boss_mcRandomUsr_: It's fine, but remember the program has to take certain arguments (start, stop, etc)20:53
morrowynthanks20:53
Dr_WillisCasieo:  theres dozens  of irc cliejnts out there OTHER then that pathic mIRC20:53
blakkheimCasieo: try irssi20:53
blakkheimHilikus: aptitude install sysv-rc-conf20:53
LinuX2halfNo, I'm not even burning the disc, the matter is the disk being recognized.20:53
guntbertmorrowyn: there is fwbuilder, but for one machine its probably got a too steep learning curve20:53
jribHilikus: you may use sysv-rc-conf if the daemon uses sysvinit.  If it uses upstart then see !upstart docs20:53
RandomUsr_boss_mr, samba does, so no issue there.20:53
Casieois irssi better then xchat20:54
Dr_WillisCasieo:  most people perfer 'xchat' over 'xchat-gnome' if thats what you are using. quassle (a kde client) also has some very good features for a gui client20:54
blakkheimCasieo: depends on who you ask. i think it is :)20:54
DextronaughtCasieo, they're really different20:54
Dr_WillisCasieo:  it all depends on your needs.20:54
RandomUsr_boss_mc, guess If I want to be more efficient, then I need to learn some bash scripting20:54
maco*quassel20:54
Pinguethis live cd thing should i choose "Try ubuntu without any changes to your computer" ? :S20:54
maco(spelling)20:54
Dr_WillisCasieo:  find some check their docs.. try them out20:54
maco(also the client i'm using right now)20:54
DextronaughtCasieo, irssi is all in terminal, so there's no gui20:54
maco(also, it's a qt client, not a kde client)20:54
Dr_WillisCasieo:  i  use 'weechat 0.3.0' here20:54
daftykinsPingue: if you just want to try it out, yeah. you can install from there too.20:55
guntbertPingue: yes, thats the "live environment"20:55
morrowynrunning screen with irssi is nice :)20:55
blakkheimmorrowyn: through ssh, too20:55

mkadukHi, is it possible to have functional Ubuntu without Pulseshitulseaudio ?20:55
morrowynyeah over ssh :)20:55
blakkheimmkaduk: yes20:55
Dr_Willisweechat has some feastures ive not seen in any other clients. but its Text/no gui based20:55
mkadukblakkheim, how?20:55
morrowyni used to do that when i was still in college20:55
blakkheimmkaduk: uninstall it, use ALSA20:55
mkadukblakkheim, after removing it I lose volume applet last time20:55
petsoundsmaco, what's the different? qt is kde.20:55
morrowynand classes were boring20:55
blakkheimmkaduk: use something else for volume then, like alsamixer20:56

Hilikusjrib: how can i find if it uses upstart or sysvinit20:56
LinuX2halferUSUL: when I open brasero, and insert the disc then wait for a few seconds before I select to burn the image to a recordable disc. But when it comes to burning the image, it said its unable to detect any removable media.20:56
Casieodo you believe xchat is a good irc client?20:56
macopetsounds: quassel was originally made not to use any kde libraries, only the qt toolkit20:56
morrowynxchat is good20:56
mkadukblakkheim, I wish Ubuntu not to force not functional software into working distributions20:56
Dr_WillisHilikus:  look in /etc/init  if theres a script in there for it - its using Upstart20:56
macopetsounds: now it has compile-time options whether it uses kde libraries and kde widgets for certain things20:56
morrowynwhen running a kde/gnome or whatever20:56
mkadukblakkheim, when I google lots of ppl have this problem20:56
Dr_WillisCasieo:  I like xchat (NOT xchat-gnome)20:56
blakkheimmkaduk: i agree, but i don't use ubuntu so that doesn't concern me20:56
macopetsounds: kde is an extension of qt20:56
jribHilikus: assume it uses sysvinit and use sysv-rc-conf.  If it's not there, then it uses upstart20:56
obiwan_hi, please could anybody run gpg --gen-key ? i just want to see if you get the    (4) ElGamal (sign and encrypt) option , then you can cancel with ^C (ctrl+c)20:56

Dr_WillisCasieo:  it works well enough for most people and ir proberly the more common irc client used20:57

mladen_bg88please someone, i really can't find a way to boot karmic, can't i simply add it to win7 loader?21:21

dufferWilthril: if its a sector error you could run seatools or other HD manufacturers utility http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/seatools21:21
Izinucsmladen_bg88: so you installed but didn't install grub? is that right?21:22
Wilthrilok it's a hitachi hard drive...21:22
mladen_bg88yes, i unchecked option install loader i thought it would be available in win loade21:22
Izinucsmladen_bg88: you thought wrong.. there was no way for the windows boot loader to know that ubuntu had been installed.. you have to manually do it. ##windows might help with that.. however with the live cd you can install grub and be done with it.21:23
MikeChelenmy bluetooth preferences say "bluetooth disabled," but clicking "turn on bluetooth" doesn't do anything. maybe the usb bluetooth is not compatible with linux?21:23

ubottumladen_bg88: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub221:24

francesco_k21:25
Wilthrili still hope e2fsck didn't corrupt anything...21:25
Izinucsmladen_bg88: if that link doesn't help then if you don't have any data yet in ubuntu simply go through the install process again and let it do it's thing when it comes to the boot loader.. grub will recognize windows and provide an option in the menu for booting between the two.21:25

EntityRebornDr_Willis, works, but no dragndrop21:28
IzinucsEntityReborn: then not to worry.. ccsm controls the number of desktops21:29
Dr_WillisEntityReborn:  if you mean dragging windows to the sides and going to the next desktkp- theres a different ccsm seting just for that21:29

IzinucsDr_Willis: I find with a 23" monitor it's pretty much the same :)21:33
EntityRebornDr_Willis, well, I use a laptop, so more monitors aren't a possibility21:33

ubottuRxDx: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)21:40

Dr_Willisgui7:  such events are the reason programs like 'screen' are sooo handy. I woudl guess No it wouldent keep executing it21:42

MikeChelenphong_: many windows games will run in wine, use playonlinux to help install22:19
meganerdMikeChelen: there are great linux games, I just do not do a lot of gaming22:19
LogicFanMikeChelen, if that makes sense22:19
phong_where can i install playonlinux?22:20
phong_what is it22:20
MikeChelensontek: try removing the custom repo, then do apt-get dist upgrade22:20
meganerdMikeChelen: and the games I do play, I usually want to play with friends, none of whom are Linux users22:20
MikeChelenphong_: it helps install windows games on linux, it's available through the software center22:20
phong_ok brb 'll go to do add22:20

mimorsatehow to check if the tv output is set on ntsc or pal?22:20
MikeChelenLogicFan: see what you mean, unsure what supports that, might try fslint22:21
meganerdxrandr -q22:21
phong_mike: it called "front end for wine"22:21
phong_is that the right one?22:21
meganerdmimorsate: xrandr -q22:21
LogicFanMikeChelen, here's what i use on windows: http://www.freshney.org/xinorbis/index.htm & http://windirstat.info/22:21
phong_if i install that, will it effect my currently installed wine 1.1.36 ?22:22
Dr_Willisplayonlinux - front-end for Wine22:22
MikeChelenphong_: yep that's it, wine is what runs underneath22:22
kodezI think I should install ubuntu for my sister. I use other distro myself.22:22
meganerdmimorsate: the "Display" control unser System -> Preferences may tell you as well22:22
LogicFanthe one that is included with ubuntu gets the job done, but i was just wanting something a bit more powerful22:22
phong_mike: i already have wine 1.1.36 installed22:22
guntbertMikeChelen: did you try "graphical disk map" ?22:22
phong_if i choose to install playonlinux will it matter?22:22
MikeChelenphong_: installing playonlinux shouldn't effect the current wine version22:22
meganerdMikeChelen: I am a big fan of filelight22:22
phong_ok22:23
Dr_Willisphong_: its just a front end TO wine. I doubt  if it will affect it22:23
phong_brb22:23
phong_ok, how do i use it after installed?22:23
MikeChelenguntbert, meganerd: can either graphical disk map or filelight show a flat, sorted listing of all files on the system?22:23
mimorsatemeganerd: xrandr -q only showed resolution, display preferences also22:23
Dr_Willisphong_:  run its icon...22:24
phong_Dr: how would i use playonlinux22:24
MikeChelenphong_: applications -> games -> playonlinux22:24
phong_oh okay22:24
phong_brb22:24
meganerdMikeChelen: for that I use an alias22:24
MikeChelenphong_: you will also need the install files for whatever you want to run, playonlinux just makes the process easier22:24
phong_hey, why my screen move nicely22:24
phong_more then 3d effect22:24
meganerdMikeChelen: alias dus="du -Pacmx --max-depth=1 . | sort -g"22:24
guntbertMikeChelen: I don't think/know but why don't you try?22:24
phong_is that ubuntu included ?22:24
phong_nice interface22:24
MikeChelenphong_: yep that is called desktop effects or compiz22:25
phong_when i move the windows screen around...it stress the windows...loooks nice22:25
CyberthunderMikeChelen, i think normal wine is more easy then play on linux22:25
phong_i think windows should make that too hahaha22:25
* Dr_Willis hates wobbly windows22:25
phong_brb22:25
MikeChelenLogicFan: try that command meganerd posted?22:25
phong_compiz can haev problem with vnc viewer22:25
phong_haha22:25
phong_ok i have the playonlinux screen22:26
phong_what then?22:26
MikeChelenCyberthunder: it depends what software, for example office is difficult to get running with wine, but playonlinux makes it easier22:26
phong_install or run?22:26
MikeChelenphong_: pick install if you have some windows program you want to set up22:26
phong_ok22:26
phong_let me try intalling wc322:26
LogicFanMikeChelen, sorry, didn't see one that was relevant?22:27

phong_yes22:27
GSF1200Sfuricle: (and others who helped) thanks.. I got the script going well through cron scheduling by user22:27
CyberthunderMikeChelen, for office i only use open office, but i understand you22:27
MikeChelenLogicFan: meganerd was suggesting a command alias: alias dus="du -Pacmx --max-depth=1 . | sort -g"22:27
phong_dr: so i can only installed games that are in the list?22:28
LogicFanoh, the du command22:28
phong_haha22:28
LogicFandidn't see that, thanks22:28
phong_will it install any games beside the games list in that list22:28
Cyberthunderphong_, no not only games that are in the list, imho all games that run under wine, but with games in the list is easier22:28
MikeChelenCyberthunder: me too, but some people need ms office for compatibility with other users22:28
phong_oh okay22:29

Dr_Williseww its all sticky23:25
Dr_Willis:)23:25
cowbudDr_Willis: it means users can create and manipulate files that they created23:25
bazhangCAPcap, the wine channel is #winehq you should check the appdb23:25

CAPcapI cant make anything run in it. even the iexplorer.exe it comes with23:25
ardchoilleDr_Willis: I think /tmp is like that23:25
CAPcapand i'll try the wine channel too23:25
adachspaans, nahh :P my notebook is already new :P23:25

edomedahey guys, I'm using rhythmbox as a music manager, several of the albums (with full id3 tags) are not fetching all of the album cover art.  I wrote a script to import from my old player (banshee in .cache/) but would like to find an app that would be able to download missing albums and store them in the directory with the tracks. (Artist - Album.jpg)  Any suggestions?23:26
Dr_WillisHmm. I got a Lower case T for tmp.. but upper for the usershares dir.. thats different23:26
Dr_Willisive never noticed taht befor in modes wither23:26
ardchoillesame here23:26
hspaansadac: 5400 rpm disk?23:26
Dr_Willis monodevelop - 2.2-1~ppa1  -- Hmm what version of monodevelop was that guy looking for?23:27
ardchoille2.223:28
PyroPheliahspaans, I just recovered from a major fault.  I had 5 drives fail on me in a 15 disk raid6.  replaced the raid card, readded the drives to array and now the raid is fine, but the lv didn't go active because it couldn't find the raid on startup.  but it's fine now, the command I was looking for was lvchange -ay /dev/foo/bar23:28
adachspaans, yeah unfortunately23:28
Dr_Willisthat was a 10 sec google search :P23:28
ardchoilleLooks like it would have helped23:28
hspaansadac: their is a lot of IO-wait so a faster disk may help a lot23:28
ardchoillehehe23:28
adachspaans, I see! thx!23:29
domoHow do I become root in Ubuntu? sudo su?23:29
icerootdomo: sudo -i23:29
ardchoilledomo: sudo -i23:29
domoThank you23:29
bazhangdomo, you dont need root normally use sudo23:29
adacsudo su works also23:29
PyroPheliadomo, you can use su as well, but you have to enable it.23:29
domobazhang: i have some work to do23:29
Dr_Willisdont use sudo su. :) bad habbit.23:29
hspaansPyroPhelia: vgdisplay shows nothing?23:29
icerootadac: but setting environment wrong in some cases23:29
domoas root23:29
bazhangthen sudo -i if you must23:30
domook23:30
PyroPheliahspaans, no it showed the vgs23:30
adacDr_Willis, old bad habit ;)23:30
hspaansadac: a good SSD is a goog investment for a laptop23:30
Dr_Willisadac:  i still have a habbit of using 'sux' :P23:30
adachehe23:30
furicle==> find /var/lib/samba/usershares/ -type f -exec grep path "{}" \;23:30
hspaansPyroPhelia: lvscan also fine?23:30
PyroPheliahspaans, the problem was the individual lvs couldn't activate because the disks they were tied to were not in a raid right after restart.  I had to re-add them to their raid.23:30
PyroPheliahspaans, yeap23:31
adachspaans, Ok onnce they become cheaper I'll get one of those23:31
hspaansPyroPhelia: you're using lvm-raid?23:31
PyroPheliahspaans, negative.  mdadm software raid23:31
flow2flygood evening23:31
Dr_Willisfuricle:  thanks. I now have a new command/alias -> 'ShowUserShares' :)23:32
ShazbotMcNastyflow2fly, hello23:32
hspaansPyroPhelia: it is still syncing?23:32
PyroPheliahspaans, so after I replaced the raid backplane I simply used mdadm --add /dev/mdx /dev/sdx,y,z to the raid.  the resync'd fine.  but the lv's didn't come back.  I'm sure they would have come back if I restarted but I had other active LVs that were in use23:32
PyroPheliahspaans, no it resync'd already it's fine now23:33
hspaansPyroPhelia: 15 disks in raid 6 and now already fine? wow23:33
PyroPheliahspaans, like I said I just needed the command to reactive the lv that was tied to the raid that died.  it's fine23:33
flow2flycan anybody help me with some driver problem? (usb sound card)23:33
PyroPheliahspaans, it took about a day to resync :)23:33
PyroPheliawell a day and a half to be honest23:34
semitonesHey -- why did I have to jump through so many hoops to get here? I was sent first to #ubuntu-proxy-users, and then to #ubuntu-unregged. Is security extra tight for some reason?23:35
Hawaiian_Eskimosemitones: botnet spam attack on freenode23:35
hspaansPyroPhelia: you know you should put only 10 disk max in a raid6 set?23:35
semitonesyikes23:35
PyroPheliahspaans, says who?  I've worked on sgi boxes that had had 20+ in a single raid623:36
Hawaiian_Eskimodon't click the links, and stay tuned to #freenode23:36
PyroPheliagranted this is a little different because it's software raid but it works fine for the most part23:36
semitonesMy real question is this -- I want to boot ubuntu from usb on a laptop that is too old to do this. Are there any good cdrom based workarounds?23:36
semitonesthe ones I've tried in the past were too balky23:37
=== Seveas is now known as And_who_are_you
HexxehHi23:37
hspaansPyroPhelia: multiple vendors, you can put more in a set but you will pay a penalty23:37
PyroPheliahspaans, raid6 according to spec has no theoretical limmit.  iirc23:37
Dr_Willissemitones:  ive only seen that for a few disrtos.   if it can boot from cd that may be the best way to install.. or you could set up grub2 on the HD to boot iso files also on the HD.23:37
hspaansPyroPhelia: you don't want more then 10 for recovery/performance issues23:37
HexxehJust booted up the Karmic LiveCD to try and find the vmlinuz binary, but it's a symlink in root pointing to a file that doesn't exist? Where can I find the actual vmlinuz and initrd.img files for Karmic?23:38

PyroPheliahspaans, multiple vendors?  na I use the same model and disk size for my raids.  when I can't get the same drive anymore I let the system die and build off new disks.  i know it sounds crazy but it's actually cheaper and you avoid io penaltys23:38

PyroPheliahspaans, the servers I work with have 45 disks in them each, spread across 3 15 disk raid 6s23:38

Thunder_DropI have an nvidia video card that has the apropriate driver installed and works fine but when I check the box in the nvidia-settings manager that enables xinera I cannot compose the screen .  Does the nvidia driver get bypassed when xinera is enables?23:39
semitonesthanks Dr_Willis: I don't need to install -- I just want to run ubuntu -like as in a live cd, for maintenance, just faster because it's on a usb drive. So is there a way to boot from cd, and then the cd tells the laptop to boot from usb?23:39
PyroPheliahspaans, have you ever heard of backblaze pods?23:39
sdwrageHey all, I am using an ati radeon hd 2600 pro and I am looking in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, in Section "Device" for Identifier and instead of Radeon blah blah blah I get "Configured Video Device". Any way I can get my ati card to work properly?23:40
PyroPheliahspaans, you can't beat 67TB for $7k23:41
Thunder_Dropsdwrage: do you have the restricted driver installed?23:41
sdwrageThunder_Drop, I dont want to use the flgrx driver23:42
hspaansPyroPhelia: yes and no redundancy23:42
sdwragewanted to use the open source driver23:42
sdwrageso I am not sure what you mean :S23:42
PyroPheliahspaans, how so?  I can have 3 drives fail before I lose any data23:42
hspaansPyroPhelia: where I work we need more then 67TB23:43
PyroPheliaplus I have all my servers backed up in co-location sites so it's not like i'm worried about a single box23:43
PyroPheliamost people do23:43
Thunder_Dropsdwrage: under the system administration tab hit hardware drivers then select the recomended driver for your video card... this way the computer knows what to do with your card23:43
PyroPheliathe point is backblaze is the best option for "cheap" storage23:43
PyroPheliais it as fast as a scsi system?  not by a long shot, but they're perfect for HD video dumps23:43
sdwrageThunder_Drop, yeah that will intall the proprietary drivers23:43
sdwrageinstall23:44
flow2flyI have the problem that my usb souncard does not get recognized every second start or so23:44
flow2flymaybe nows how to solve this23:44
hspaansPyroPhelia: servers with 800 to over 2000 LUNs are normal23:44
Thunder_Dropsdwrage: without installing the driver I don't think that linux will be able to identify your devices properly23:44
Dextronaught:O23:45
Dextronaughthow do I know whether I'm using alsa-base, esound, jack, etc.?23:45
DextronaughtI do have to unistall each one and install the next, right?23:45
sdwrageThunder_Drop, but there is an open source ati driver I thought23:45
PyroPheliahspaans, yes but it's also very expnesive to setup.  you can't build a 67TB scsi system for $7k23:45
sdwrageI mean... I can use linux right now23:45
sdwragebut I just want updated drivers for higher resolution and faster speed23:45
PyroPheliahspaans, $70k maybe.  but not $7k23:45
Thunder_Dropsdwrage: Yes it works without the driver but any advanced features require the restricted driver23:45
minimecuntil 9.10 it was possible to do dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets to make freq change available for all user. IN karmic that no longer works. Do you know the new solution. In forum they say that you will be prompted your password if you add CPU Freq Selector, but that doesn't happen here.23:46
sdwrageThunder_Drop, and what about the open source driver?23:46
PyroPheliahspaans, this is the age of it DEEP cuts.  Evolve or die.23:46
flow2flysdwrage: it works for me23:46
Thunder_Dropsdwrage: you mean the one included with ubuntu?23:46
Dextronaughthow do I know whether I'm using alsa-base, esound, jack, etc.?23:46
DextronaughtI do have to unistall each one and install the next, right?23:46
sdwrageThunder_Drop, as far as I know... the flgrx one is included with ubuntu and thats the proprietary driver23:47
* sdwrage shrugs23:47
flow2flysdwrage: correct23:47
Thunder_DropDextronaught: right click on the little speaker on the top right of the screen and hit sound preferences... navigate to the hardware tab23:48
iflemasemitones debian has a tool forget name.. was in the /tools directory... argh... pretty sure it could boot usb without the BIOS option to do so.... but the thing is it lives where grub lives generally speaking.. but ya can get aroung this aswell23:48
Thunder_Dropsdwrage: I'm not sure... I have Nvidia myself23:48
hspaansPyroPhelia: which deep cuts?23:48
PyroPheliahspaans, budget23:48
flow2flysdwrage: if you want to play 3d games i think you might need the restricted driver23:49
PyroPheliahspaans, the work flow today is build it bigger and build it cheaper, or find a new job :/23:49
sdwrageflow2fly, ok ill look at it23:49
Thunder_DropIf xinerama is enabled do the functions of my nvidia driver stop working preventing my screen from being able to compose?23:49
flow2flysdwrage: you want to play games?23:49
hspaansPyroPhelia: your costs are not in hardware23:49
hspaansPyroPhelia: but we go offtopic23:50

leffe123My firefox crashes a lot, I think it is associated with flash23:53
IzinucsThunder_Drop: from what I understand there is some quirkyness with xinerama.. why are you using it?23:53
hspaansPyroPhelia: you checked lvchange btw?23:54
Thunder_DropIzinucs: I was looking into different options other than the nvidia twinview but it seems that I can't enable any desktop effects with xinerama23:54
vaixwhat are the differences between grub / grub-pc?  running ubuntuo 9.10 and want to find stage2_eltorito to make an iso and it does  not exist.  I think it exists in "grub" but I am running "grub-pc" - is it ok to cross-grade?23:55
leffe123firefox outputs a lot of errors, for example: (firefox:2972): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_handler_disconnect: assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed23:55
DextronaughtThunder_Drop, when I open Firefox, whichever runs first (Java or Flash), only 1 of them can have sound, or else I need to restart the browser. I'm not sure if you know what I mean. This is on Karmic. Is this typical? any fix?23:55
Thunder_DropIzinucs: I think its because my nvidia driver gets bypassed when xinerama is enabled23:55
IzinucsThunder_Drop: I use to use xinerama on 6.06 but dropped it.. now I just run a BIG monitor.. nvidia should have some docs on it..23:55
Thunder_DropDextronaught: so whichever gets used first is the only one that can funtion untill firefox is restarted?23:56
Dextronaughtyes23:57
PyroPheliahspaans, hmm?23:57
